Renfrow and Horn are not making the team so they better hang onto AT.

I think keeping Horn with Thielen is the better approach. At this point he’s more than just a player to the guys in the room and even the quarterback. He’s a coach on the field and on the sideline. 
 

If the Vikings want him, they will pony up, period.

Theres a lot more to whats evaluated then just what you see a few snaps of preseason games. We see nothing of the daily practices and camps.

And neither has done anything to stand out or move up the depth chart. Renefrow is not physically up to playing a full game yet and may never be again. Horn has not done enough to move up either. He's been passed by an udfa for goodness sake. Just being fast isn't enough to guarantee a roster spot.

I don't really care but I think a team making a playoff push later in the season with injury issues would give up the same compensation the Vikings are offering now. I also don't see why so many people think the Vikings are ready for a playoff push when JJ Mccarthy hasn't even played an NFL regular season game 

Not to mention they might finish last in their division with the Lions already being good and an improved Packers and Bears squads

AT was old and slow last year. Renfrow>AT and it lets you keep horn jr and Moore 

And was still far and away our best receiver on the field last year when he was healthy...

I think it's more likely they finish ahead of GB and Chicago, although anything is possible in that division.

Horn has definitely been and up and down story during camp and preseason.  You make several valid points but, I am not 100% sure they are ready to give up on a player they drafted. 

I do believe that if we cut him someone will add him to their 53 man roster. If he does clear waivers, I hope we sign him to the practice squad.

I doubt someone picks him up for their 53 as he has little to no tape to go on. Its possible of course but I can't see it.

How do you know he is not up to playing a full game?

Renfrow would be better served to be on the PUP list to start the season. Horns only shot to make the 53 now seems to be having AT traded and Renfrow cut or on PUP.

Have you seen him play lately? He's not up to full game speed yet. DC even said as much. Its not a secret.

Kinda dumb statement considering he's been playing over that level since 2018.

You got proof?

The Lions just lost the two coaches which really made Sunday's go. Dan Campbell isn't an X's and O's kind of coach. That all fell on Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. I would almost certainly expect a regression, maybe even to .500, for the Lions. 

[Yup]

Renfrow isn't supposed to be playing a full game.  Neither is AT.  That was/is the AT problem. 

We have XL, Tmac, and Coker.  Renfrow is supposed to be a roleplayer inserted into the slot for traditional slot work.   All of the youngsters should run a nice % of there routes out of the slot.   XL needs an increase for sure.  The slot shouldn't be so dominated by AT (or if he leaves by Renfrow).
